The heat is on!

Thursday evening Kerstin’s sister Sandra arrived in Vienna for a business trip and used the opportunity to stay with us and spend some time with her godchild. By the time the weekend arrived Jakob has regained his full health, the rash has disappeared and he was running around in the flat from dawn till dusk. Saturday morning the 4 of us had breakfast on the terrace together before Sandra and Kerstin headed out into town to do some shopping while Markus spent several hours with Jakob at home. The two boys did not go outside as it was so hot but played, ate and slept in the airconditioned & darkened flat. In the afternoon Markus’ fear became reality when Argentina crashed ouot of the World Cup against Germany 24 hours after Brasil also failed to qualify for the semi-final due to a loss to the Netherlands. The stage for his “horror-scenario” – a final Germany vs Netherlands – is now set and only Spain or Uruguay can prevent that.

Sunshine & water means Jakob is happy

Sunday morning Sandra left for the railway station after breakfast to get back home to Vorarlberg and when she left Markus prepared Jakob’s pool on the terrace. We decided to spend the day at home bathing in our very own pool rather than joining millions of other people in any of the outdoor pools. Jakob had a lot of fun playing with the water whereas he clearly is enjoying more to spill water and play WITH the wet element rather than IN the water. Our suspicion I, that he is currently dreaming of a job as firefighter, just like Grisu, the little dragon.

Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
